May I ask do you have some washers left over that you can't find a home for, an 8 and a 10mm ?

I should have John, but I didn't. That is why I had to get replacements for the balance shaft nuts (now fitted), which the last builder lost. Gotta tell you, you have the eyes and observation of a shit house rat ! Note to others taking pictures of a job and posting them.... do not have your credit card in the same building as you are taking the pictures, coz if you do.... it's your own fault ! Seriously, I feel better knowing I have such experience looking over the rebuild. Thanks John.

A picture tells a thousand words...
Newbies/members looking at the pictures also learn...
The "dot" is just visible at one o clock meaning good balance chain life left.
Some common assembly faults can be picked up like oil jets upsidedown, valve springs upsidedown, big end rod caps on backwards ( difficult to see that when fitted ), con rods on backwards, the oil hole, and various other inaccuracies...
I hate to see a viable engine wrecked. The philosophy that " no matter, there's always eBay", but what happens when there are no more ?
I have not read all your thread...
Your Gunna love this bike when it's ready, mot and tax exempt ?

Registered 16th August 1983, so another year or so. It is actually already sold. An existing customer near Derby is having it. Like you say, he is looking forward to adding it to his collection.

Duffer - you are my kind of guy...bet you come to bed stinking of oil. I love that. So there it is men. Proof, if proof was ever needed. I am proud to say I am now selling this stuff as aftershave at a very reasonable Ā£250 per 50ml bottle. With Christmas just around the corner, gentlemen just think of your success at the Christmas parties ! (Karen, you will be my co-founder. We need a company name, a product name, and a snappy advert. You know the sort "It is a pie, but it is not a pie- Pasties, by Ginsters")
